They have these amazing Halwas which include Akhroti Halwa, Injeer(fig) Halwa and Habshee Halwa and all for SR 26/kg. That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Barfis / ladoos and gulab jamuns:

They also make variety of Barfis like Pista Barfi, Badaam Pak and Tukri Patisa. Gulaab Jamun, Rus Gulay and moti choor ke ladoos are their specialty.

Pastry:

As far as pastry is concerned, the range is very limited though. You can only have chocolate fudge pastries or brownies for only SR2. Cream cakes and plain pound cakes are also available at very reasonable rates.

There is also huge variety of Bakar Khani (Puff Pastry) which is one of my favorites. French hearts, icing jam and almond sticks, lemon sticks, phool ties (flower like puff pastry) are to name a few. Rusks and cake rusks are also available.

I have visited Rashid sweets twice and you won’t believe every time I enter, the amazing aroma of Dahi Bhallas makes me wonder if I am in Pakistan. Unfortunately, I could not get the chance to taste them yet but their aroma makes my mouth watering.

The “Khoye Wali Kulfi” is best seller of Rashid Sweets. The kulfi is very rich in taste. It is creamy, full of nuts, icy and delicious. Each kulfi is for SR 4 and I have seen people taking the kulfis out and enjoy in the small open place outside the shop.

It is also the best place to buy snacks and entertain guests if you are having them on tea time.
